About Pulau Susu Dara
Pulau Susu Dara is a pair of small islands east of Perhentian Kecil, reached through a shallow channel between the rocky islets. The dive begins over a sandy bottom with coral patches, then slopes into deeper water and becomes a wall-style reef dive. Visibility is usually good, and the reef supports a lively mix of marine life, including reef fish, moray eels, turtles, and blacktip reef sharks. Plan the trip as a boat dive with local timing around the channel entry.
